The growth of private vocational training centres in Malabo and Bata has drawn criticism in Equatorial Guinea, with some establishments accused of prioritising revenue over the quality of teaching. Affordable fees and promises made to applicants have raised questions about the resources devoted to trainers and training, according to Realequatorialguinea.

In Equatorial Guinea, some private vocational training centres are accused of putting profit ahead of teaching quality, media outlet Realequatorialguinea reports. Their numbers have risen sharply in recent years, particularly in Malabo and Bata.

These establishments are supposed to train learners for trades and technical sectors to help them find work. However, the outlet says some do not fulfil this purpose, without identifying them or giving specific examples.
